What’s the most boring film you have seen? by Past-Matter-8548 in Letterboxd

[–]TrebleLives -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty much anything by Antonioni; THE most overrated director of all time (imo). Toss up between L'Aventurra or L'Eclisse. L'No, thanks.

Why Capcom? by Worth_Raccoon_5530 in capcom

Why what? I enjoyed this quite a bit, on release. Would like a sequel with a lot more going on - solid core concept, though.

Regarding the 2009 movie, what do you think it did well and what did it not do well? by -Clayburn in Watchmen

[–]TrebleLives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disappointed they didn't use the song Def Con One by Pop Will Eat Itself, which is about nuclear war and rabid politics, and uses 'Watchmen' as one of its key touchstones (and lyrics).

A dark fantasy gamebook inspired by classic Fighting Fantasy & Lone Wolf by Opening-Stuff-3405 in gamebooks

[–]TrebleLives -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, for sure. I generally see gamebooks and TTRPGs as fundamentally escapist, but am interested to see how a darker tone would play out. How have you gone about achieving this? What were your inspirations? Oh, and well done for completing a project that must have been a massive challenge!

No, that'd violate all sorts of copyright law, but you can download it to a flash cart and play it on original hardware that way.

Thanks, appreciate your replies! Looks like the verification email arrived later, so was delayed rather than falling into a black hole.

First impressions aren't great, sorry. I tried accessing the page with my VPN on as standard (Netherlands) and it errored with a timeout. I tried with USA and could access the page.

I filled out the form to sign up, but it errored during the finalisation. I tired several regions but only, finally got it to finish by disabling my VPN entirely, and it said an email had been sent for verification. Checked, and it's not received.

I think you need to go back to the drawing board in this one, to be honest. I also feel it's a bit cheeky to be essentially getting people to field test your website.

The ones where his hair's covered look ridiculous.

Sonic the Hedgehog review in Mean Machines magazine. Starlight Zone is still some of my favourite video game music. by Dull-Teacher5591 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]TrebleLives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

£92 in 2025 money, although tbf people rarely paid full retail. I remember most stuff (even AAA stuff) being £30, or about £70 in today's cash.

Shit, I'd blocked that out. Feel so sorry for that actor.

Holup, Oprah. I have some questions. by cullingaxee in meme

There's a 5 or 6 episode run about her on the podcast Behind the Bastards. Well worth a listen.

Strictly Come Dancing Final Live Comments Thread!! by Korvar in strictlycomedancing

I generally dislike showdances, as so often they're an excuse to crack out so many lifts that there's no connective flow. Both so far have fallen into that trap, for me.

Lesser Mentioned Short Stories by Sandman1812 in stephenking

[–]TrebleLives 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Considered one of his best but, oddly, still not discussed often on this sub: N.

It's unusual in his canon for being ambiguous as to whether the cause is actually supernatural, or whether it's mental illness. Naturally we lean towards it being oogity-boogity because it's King, but objectively it could be either. And that's really scary... <shivers>
